Hello:

Its been a while since I last posted in these newsletters.

When i did the help came right along.

Now, my question is:

Is there a way to restart a job in povray from the point it was interrupted?

Specifically when there is a power failure and the job is interrupted.


Thanks in advance.

start povray once again with all parameters you used for the first interrupted run
but with the additional parameter +C

Povray will read the result image file of the preveous run can determine where to
continue rendering

I'd add: backup the uncomplete file in case you get the parameters wrong.

/continue
